Thank you and we'll take that as a comment. Thank you.

Yes, the North Slave is here in Yellowknife, and Tlicho is in the Tlicho communities. Also, some of the other communities up here in the North Slave region. We do have an office here, and then Tlicho also have their TSCA and they take care of their communities.

In terms of a medical-type assessment then, yes, they do have to go through a formal form of consent. Some of the other ones is just teacher reporting in the classroom.

Thank you. One of the options that we did present to committee was a 12:1 ratio for junior kindergarten. We are always looking at options. As I said, with the junior kindergarten being implemented during the presentation we did say in the academic year of 2017. We've still got a lot of consultations to do. We're going to be speaking with the communities and the schools that have implemented junior kindergarten, see how it's working with them, take some of the best practices, learn from the challenges moving forward. Thank you.

Yes, the one that's stated in here is the revenue summary, it’s coming from the federal government. We also make contributions ourselves above that.

Yes. We do have a few that are listed as one Mr. Nadli brought up. In terms of Aboriginal languages, the Education Act will be looking at as working with Members to look at moving forward in terms of the concern with College nordique and Dechinta. For more details I will ask… And some of the other legislation that we need to bring forward for the changes that we are making to the income assistance programs, but I will get more detail. I will ask my deputy minister.

Yes. Thank you. Contributions to the heritage centres are contributions to registered and emerging heritage centres for the operation of community-based facilities that acquire, preserve, and exhibit information, objects, artifacts, and works of art portraying the heritage of the Northwest Territories. The heritage centres that we currently fund are the Fort Simpson Historical Society, Hay River Museum Society, Norman Wells Historical Society, Northern Arts and Cultural Centre, Northern Life Museum, and the NWT Mining Heritage Society. Thank you.

Yes, it's moved into here in Yellowknife as I mentioned, but the North Slave, they cover other communities as well, yes.

Thank you. With some of the positions, they were in the reductions exercise that we went through. Some of the positions were also sunsets for certain programs. When we look at the position reductions, they are always difficult. We looked at options and wanted to make sure that when we did the reductions, that any work that was still left could be distributed among the remaining staff. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The government tables a report every year, of contracts over $5,000, and it has all the information in there I believe for all departments. I think when that report comes out it might be something that the Member would like to take a look at.
